Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Masonville, IA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Masonville offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
